The <a>
tag defines a hyperlink, which is used to
link one page to another. The most important attribute of the
<a>
element is the href
attribute, which
indicates the destination of the link.
Relative links point to a file within the same site (e.g.,
href="about.html"
), while absolute links point to a URL
outside of the site (e.g., href="https://www.example.com"
).
The text between the opening and closing <a>
tags is
the link text that users see. For example, in
<a href="https://www.example.com">Visit
Example.com</a>
, "Visit Example.com" is the link text.
Use the target
attribute to specify where to open the
linked document. For example, target="_blank"
will open the
link in a new tab.
